ORBCOMM PROVIDES FUEL SHIPMENT MONITORING SYSTEM FOR US, NATO IN AFGHANISTAN

摘要

Orbcomm Inc's GlobalTrak division has supplied its state-of-the-art fuel monitoring system to prevent theft of mission-critical fuel used by US and NATO forces in Afghanistan. An Orbcomm team has been deployed to manage on-site installation and launch of the fuel monitoring system. Following a comprehensive evaluation of several major companies, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) selected GlobalTrak for this project and determined that it was the only solution provider that could demonstrate both fuel level monitoring as well as security of the fuel ports and valves, according to Orbcomm officials. Customers include several fuel companies who have been contracted by DLA to deliver fuel to critical points around Afghanistan.
